Age-related changes in brain activity are specific for high order cognitive processes during successful encoding of information in working memory
(Frontiers Media, 2015)Memory capacity suffers an age-related decline, which is supposed to be due to a generalized slowing of processing speed and to a reduced availability of processing resources. Information encoding in memory has been ... -
Binge drinking affects attentional and visual working memory processing in young university students
(Wiley, 2009)Background: Binge Drinking (BD) typically involves heavy drinking over a short time, followed by a period of abstinence, and is common among young people, especially university students. Animal studies have demonstrated ... -
Broad cognitive complaints but subtle objective working memory impairment in fibromyalgia patients
(PEERJ INC, 2018)Background Cognitive dysfunction in fibromyalgia (FM) encompasses objective cognitive difficulties, as measured in neuropsychological tests, and self-reported cognitive complaints. Although it has been suggested that FM ... -
Decision-making in the ventral premotor cortex harbinger of action
(Frontiers, 2011)Although the premotor (PM) cortex was once viewed as the substrate of pure motor func- tions, soon it was realized that it was involved in higher brain functions. By this it is meant that the PM cortex functions would ... -
Effects of Cognitive Reserve on Cognitive Performance in a Follow-Up Study in Older Adults With Subjective Cognitive Complaints. The Role of Working Memory
(Frontiers Media, 2018)Objective: Analyze the effects of CR on cognitive performance in adults with subjective cognitive complaints at follow-up. Method: We analyzed the factorial structure of the three constructs defined in cognitive performance ... -
Effects of load and maintenance duration on the time course of information encoding and retrieval in working memory: from perceptual analysis to post-categorization processes
(Frontiers Media, 2014)Working memory (WM) involves three cognitive events: information encoding, maintenance, and retrieval; these are supported by brain activity in a network of frontal, parietal and temporal regions. Manipulation of WM load ... -
Improving the Working Memory During Early Childhood Education Through the Use of an Interactive Gesture Game-Based Learning Approach
(IEEE, 2018-09-07)One of the most socially and culturally advantageous uses of human–computer interaction is enhancing playing and learning for children. In this paper, gesture interactive game-based learning (GIGL) is tested to see if these ... -
Reduced anterior prefrontal cortex activation in young binge drinkers during a visual working memory task
(Elsevier, 2010)Working memory (WM) is a major cognitive function that is altered by chronic alcohol consumption. This impairment has been linked to alterations in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex (PFC). Animal and human studies have ... -
Working memory over a six-year period in young binge drinkers
(Elsevier Masson, 2017)Adolescence and early adulthood are periods of particular vulnerability to the neurotoxic effects of alcohol. Young people with alcohol-use disorders display deficits in working memory (WM). This function is supported by ...
